Working on my 3rd log toyMom got me a new log toy! I love to hollow those things out! They are so much fun to scrap at with my beak. I love to see the progress I make I hollow out one end then Mom turns it around and hollow out the other end. Then I smooth it out! Hah! I can leave piles of "sawdust" too!

"The Birds"I watched this film with mom last night. When I saw the birdies drive the people away I bobbed up and down with approval! Go birdies! Stupid Lemonhead just kept playing with one of his toys.

I am a pretty birdieMom says I get prettier every day. I like to sit with my chest puffed out and my cap fluffy. Mom says even my little toes are cute! I may not be big enough to be a show birdie, but Mom talks to me as if I were a Star!

The keetsI finally told Lemonhead and pesky Nestlee (he tried to MOUNT me---the NERVE!) to get a room. Now they have the decency to fly off to the curtain rod in a dark corner and do their little "dances".

Mad!I am mad as a wet hen! I was giving Lemonhead a much deserved thrashing, even had his scrawny rib cage in my foot, and human put me in a separate cage! The nerve! She put food and water in my cage but it was on the bottom. I ignored it until she put millet branch and food container near my perch! To hear human mooning over Lemonhead makes me sick. Just wait 'til I get out!

Vote for Lemonhead BOTDYes, I am the Show Birdie. I will be on Exhibition, but human wants Lemonhead to win BOTD. He is so small, so playfyl, too darn smart for his own good he would never make it to an English Budgie show. So vote for the little guy cuz it would make our mama/human very happy. They make a cute couple. I decided to let her kiss me because Lemonhead has never been afraid and likes the attention.

More Chances To Win! Bird of the week is now becoming Bird of the Day! Beginning Monday, February 1, 2010, we will switch from Bird of the Week to Bird of the Day. The winner will get 1,000 Bird eClub points and his or her bird’s photo will be in the spotlight all day.

humanHuman cut one of my blood feathers! I saw my life's blod dripping away! She took me into a warm room and held my feather until it stopped bleeding. She apologized many times. It was nice to perch on her palm. Then she put me in my rope swing, placed a nice branch of millet next to my face, and checked on me a lot.

got more treatsHuman gave me more treats. I noticed that she praises me more when I don't drive the others away from my property. She doesn't comlain when that runt snaps at the other birdies she kisses. (He got Nestlee really well the other day. She just thought it was funny.)

My territoryI don't know why human complains if I lunge at Dovey and chase him off MY perch. I like to knock him off. He is not supposed o be on my perch or my swing or on my food bowl when I am eating. So what if I bit that runt Lemonhead's toes? Let him keep his tiny feet away from me! Only Nestlee has my permission to sit beside me on my swing and eat next to me.

Human told me that my face is like a little "marigold" a little "pansy". Guess that is good --she says I get handsomer every day.

I like being a grouch. Human should get Dovey his own cage. I want some more toys. I want some more treats. I do NOT like the pellets. I want my bath water changed more than once a day. I am a big boy, I need to scratch the water up on my back, the runt Lemonhead poops in my bath, Dovey leaves his shredded veggies in my water...Human I know you're listening.

Human should spend much, much more time telling me how pretty, smart, and adorable I am. I have never nipped her near her jugular vein.

Lemonhead has been watching too many vampire stories on TV---many he thinks he is a vampire bat.

thank you Plucky!I need birdy hugs after that man trimmed my wings and cut my toe nails. He was a big man! I did not like being on my back! I think he clipped my wings too short because I have fallen off my high perch twice tonight.

I overheard human ordering new toys for us. We all listened very carefully to her telling the toy maker "the budgies like toys with bells that they can rattle" and the parakeet (LH) "likes to thrash things back and forth with his head". Sounds good!

outingHuman took us out today. A man reached inside our carrier and held me upside down. Human told me "good boy". My beautiful wings were trimmed! I did not agree to this. Then the man trimmed my toe nails. Human rubbed my head. Human told us we were very good birdies all the way home. Fruit treats awaited. Took a long time to preen after wings trimmed.

forgotHuman tells me I am handsome every day. she tells the others they are pretty. Handsome must be special. She does tell me that she loves me too. She says good morning, she tells me she is giving us breakfast. She told me today she was giving me nice fresh water.

Today she wore orange color. The parakeets were afraid of her. she usually wears blue like their feathers. They are so dumb not to recognize her in a different color! Ha Ha HA!

HumanWhy can't I stay on the floor? I like to eat my own poop! The parakeets are so messy they drop seeds, spill water, dump stuff---there's plenty to eat on the floor! Even bugs! Why does human need to put net over me and put me back in my home?

The other night I had a fight with Dovey. I pushed him off our perch. We were loud I guess because human raised her voice and told me to stop hurting Dovey. I was beside myself and could not screeching at Dovey. Human put her hand in our home and waved me away from Dovey. I went to the back and hid. Then she talked to Dovey and told him she would protect him.

At least the parakeets shut up after human was loud. I have been very quiet the last few days. I eat, drink water, sleep, and let Dovey preen my head. Human still tells me I am handsome green boy.
